"Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." -Philippians 2:3 (ESV)
We could all probably name examples of people that act out of selfish interests. With advances in technology and the changes in how we share and react to information, we see "digital" acts that persist even after they have been "deleted." We may be guilty of such actions or reactions. We may call it self-preservation. We may say that such actions result because others are just getting what they deserve. The different actions and reactions experienced may be common human reactions, but we can choose to react and to treat people differently!
God calls us to show His love. We can model this love by being humble, by considering ourselves less significant than those around us. Instead of acting or reacting in ways that promote ourselves or our own interests, we can act and react in love, treating others love and respect. Being humble and showing love is not a sign of weakness because we don't have to put down others to show our strength. We know that our significance and strength in life come from God and the best way to show them is through humility, love, and respect for all those around us!
Show God's strength in you by being humble and spreading His love!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the significance and purpose of my life. Help me to always show Your love and to avoid being selfish and self-centered in my actions and reactions. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
